The way you cook potatoes really makes all the difference. We all know potatoes are versatile, so if you’re looking for a quick roasted snack, you can use an air fryer. If you have more time on your hands, they’re just as good—if not better—in the oven.

Whichever way you choose to cook them, follow this simple recipe for the fluffiest roast potatoes you’ll ever make.

Ingredients:

• 3 large potatoes (a floury, starchy type like Russets or Maris Piper)
• Olive Oil
• Garlic (cloves or powder)
• Rosemary
• Paprika (smoked, if you’d like)
• Salt
• Pepper
• Roast Potato Seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F, because a super hot oven is the optimal environment for crispy potatoes. If you’re using an air fryer, preheat it at 380°F for 3 minutes.
2. Chop your potatoes into medium-large chunks. The pieces should be big enough that they’re not all crunch, and not so big that they can’t go crispy and fluffy while cooking.
3. Parboil the potatoes in a big pot of salty water. Don’t skip this step, because parboiling is the key to getting your potatoes crispy and fluffy at the same time. You’ll know they’re done when they’re tender but not mushy.
4. If you’re using an oven, pour some oil into your pan whilst the potatoes are parboiling so it’s super hot by the time they go in.
5. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl, or a pot with a lid.
6. Shake! Give the potatoes a really vigorous shake until the edges are roughened—this is the essential step to give the roasties their famous fluffiness.
7. Add any seasonings you’d like, and of course a drizzling of oil. We think a generous sprinkle of rosemary and paprika is the perfect flavor combination.
8. Spread the potatoes out on the pan and use a spoon to pour some of the hot oil over them. Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until they’re crispy and golden.
9. For air fryer users: place the seasoned spuds in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, before flipping them and cooking for another 10, until they look perfectly golden.
10. Enjoy!

Ideal Potatoes

To start, choose the right type of potato. Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well for roasting, as they have a creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for extra flavor and nutrients.

Prepping It

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and any other seasonings you like, such as rosemary or thyme. Spread them out on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there’s plenty of space between each piece.

Roasting Them

Roast the potatoes for about 25-35 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and tender. Turn them over once or twice during cooking to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. Serve them hot out of the oven with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.

Pick Your Potatoes

Not all mashed potatoes are created equally, because not all potatoes are made equally. Certain potatoes can be more floury, while others are waxier. The former will make a fluffier mash, so if that’s your jam, choose russet or Idaho potatoes. For creamier mashed potatoes, stick to waxy spuds like Yukon gold.

Fat Chance

In order to achieve the ultimate texture, it’s a good idea to add some milk, cream, or butter. If you want to be really indulgent, you can add a bit of all three! Ensure that the temperature of the fat-based ingredients are not cooler than the potatoes. 

Absolute Aromatics

Potatoes can be a rather bland food on their own, so add some flavor to zhuzh up your mash. Garlic, herbs, spices, chili, spring onion, and mustard are all good places to start. Go according to your taste and don’t be afraid to experiment.

Mashing Eggs

A potato masher can come in handy when you’re making egg salads and sandwiches because you can use it to mash your eggs with ease.

Making Guacamole

Avocados can be eaten in many different ways, but guacamole happens to be one of the most popular dishes it’s used in. Its creamy texture isn’t always easy to achieve, but the potato masher will get you there in no time.

Chopping Walnuts

Chopping walnuts doesn’t require a knife or any elaborate kitchen tools because they’re incredibly soft, and you can use a potato masher to break them instead.

Apple Sauce

The first step of making apple sauce is boiling your apples, and you can easily transform them into apple sauce with your potato masher because they’ll be soft and tender enough.

Stewed Tomatoes

A potato masher can also help you make the most delicious stewed tomatoes. Mashing fresh or canned tomatoes as they cook and get more tender is also an option.

Choose the Right Potatoes

Different kinds of potatoes work better for certain types of dishes, and your smashed potatoes will be much more delicious if you pick the right one. You should opt for waxy verities, such as Yukon gold, and go with smaller or medium potatoes unless you want to cut them in half.

Prepping Your Potatoes

You shouldn’t peel your potatoes when making this dish because leaving the skin on will make them extra crispy. Your potatoes should be boiled first because they’re much easier to smash this way, but you can also steam dry them to take the crispiness to the next level.

Extra Ingredients

Baking smashed potatoes as they are is always an option but you can make them extra delicious by using some additional ingredients. A touch of oil or butter is a must, but you should also consider adding some garlic and thyme to the mix to take their flavor to the next level.

Ingredients:

• 1 large or 2 medium potatoes (or as many as you’d like to make)
• Garlic to taste
• Butter to taste
• Milk to taste
• Salt to taste
• Optional toppings: pepper, cheese, sour cream, green onions

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Chloe (@flitlike)

Instructions:

1. Start by washing your potatoes thoroughly. It’s up to you if you’d like to peel them or not. Leaving the skin will give you some pockets of extra-chewy potato, and the skin has a lot of nutrients. But, this is up to personal preference. Either way, be sure to use a fork to poke lots of holes all over the potato.
2. Put the potato in the microwave on high for around 3 minutes, then turn it over and cook for another 3.
3. Use the fork to check how cooked the potato is, and continue microwaving until soft.
4. Take out the potato and mash it up. Mash in as much butter and garlic as you’d like as well.
5. Finish by adding a splash of milk or cream, salt, and any other mix-ins.
6. Mix until just combined, keeping in mind that as you mix the mash will become more elastic. So, for creamier potatoes, don’t overmix. If you do accidentally, simply add more milk and salt and mix until you have the right consistency.

Russet

One of the world’s most popular potatoes, sometimes called Rooster potatoes. They have a russet-colored skin and a starchy flesh. You can bake, fry, or boil them, and they are great for mashing. They are less suitable for stuffing as they do not hold their shape well.

French Fingerling

Smooth skins and moist flesh, these keep their shape after cooking and so are great for roasting and braising, but also for potato salads. Their flesh is considered waxy, so they might not be the best choice if you’re making a mash.

New Potatoes

Another global favorite, are smaller, sweeter, and waxier than the fully grown types, and have relatively thin skins that would break easily. Make the best of them by brushing them with seasoned oil and letting them roast in the oven.

Ingredients:

• 8 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions:

1. Turn the oven to 425 F degrees and prepare a baking tray.
2. Grind the rosemary without their stems and mix it with oil. Let the rosemary stay in the oil for a while so that it releases its flavors.
3. Wash and dry the potatoes, making sure you remove all the dirt.
4. Don’t forget to cut a little piece from the bottom of the potatoes so that they stay in place.
5. Do cuts on each potato that are 1/4 to 1/8 inch wide. Don’t cut to the bottom, each piece has to stay connected in the bottom, and the potato needs to stay whole and not fall apart.
6. Brush half of the oil over the potatoes.
7. Line them up on the tray and bake the Hasselback potatoes for 30 minutes.
8. Take out the tray and use the rest of the oil in between the slits of the potato. Add salt on top.
9. Bake for 30 more minutes and the potatoes are ready to be served.
